Last night I had a negative knee jerk reaction when someone mentioned a book they had recently read and enjoyed. I have not read this book, but I have already formed an opinion about it based on one person. Oprah. This book happens to be her current book club pick. I have a strong dislike for reading Oprah books, which is irrational because she usually picks good books. I just feel like such a lame follower whenever I read one.
Also I will never forgive her for picking East of Eden when I was about halfway through it. Thanks for almost ruining Steinbeck for me Oprah!
So, yeah to Oprah for getting people excited about reading, but for now I'll pick my own books.
